Casio EX-G1 vs Samsung PL210 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizing purely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-G1 and PL210.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Samsung PL210 to give you greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older EX-G1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
